Selling a story to Australia

[carolinamtne 3,449]

I just received acceptance for a story I sent to a magazine in Australia. (How do I make this big smile not so big???)

Anyway, they are requiring "non-exclusive, ongoing print and digital rights" to my story, with the first right to publish. That makes sense to me. Does it to others?

Woo-hoo! That is tooooooo awesome, Carolina! Congrats! I love the big smile!

 

[carolinamtne 3,449]

Thank you! 

 

Rebecca once posted a way to minimize these pictures, but I don 't remember and I can't find it. Yes, my smile is about that big!

Congratulations, Carolina! I think that rates the jumbo smiley face.

Thank you, Sophie.

 

Just selling the story is something, but all of your support (and calorie-free cookies) makes it even better.

Congrats! And if your real smile is about that size, then don't shrink the virtual one

Well, Claire, it probably is!

I'm not an expert at all, but that makes sense to me. I've seen some magazines reuse jokes and switching out the person's name. I don't know what all they might do with a story, but it sounds like magazines just do stuff like that, but I'm thinking with a story they just might reprint it down the road and that that's probably just typical magazine stuff? 🤷‍♀️

Either way, congrats! How exciting!

[carolinamtne 3,449]

Thank you, Pen Name, Jennifer, and Josh. I really appreciate the support.

 

Are there really 1112 other Jennifers out there online?

Congratulations!

 

It looks like a standard first publication offer.

[carolinamtne 3,449]

Thanks, EClay. I appreciate the affirmation.

 

And Josi, it wasn't my fault. Honest. The spell checker changed what I wrote. (Not that I can type that well anyway.) Thanks for your comment.
